Killer Instinct

Cassie wakes up from a nightmare and goes downstairs to get some fresh air, only to hear Dean and Sterling arguing in the kitchen. Eavesdropping on their conversation, she learns that the two know each other better than she thought. Dean reveals that his father once told him the name of one of his victims and asked whether Dean would want her as a mother. Dean said he wouldn’t, and Redding later killed the woman, so Dean now blames himself for her death. He asks Sterling the name of the copycat’s victim, which she tells him is Emerson Cole. 

Cassie goes back to bed, but Lia asks her to join her on an escapade: Lia wants to go to a frat party on the Colonial campus to question some of the students about the murder. She claims that it will help Dean get closure and that helping the FBI solve the case might get Sterling off their backs as well. For Dean’s sake, Cassie reluctantly agrees to go along with Lia’s plan.

Lia, Cassie, and Michael drive Michael’s car to the frat party. Once there, they each use their talents to talk to different people and glean information. After a while, Cassie is approached by an arrogant male student, Geoffrey, who is a teaching assistant for Professor Fogle, the suspicious criminology teacher.
